These resolutions were referred to the next meeting. At that meeting Randolph, at the suggestion of Gouverneur Morris, who said that his subsequent resolutions did not agree with the first, moved that this first resolution, which was that the articles of confederation should be corrected and enlarged, should be postponed, which was unanimously agreed to. Randolph then proposed three other resolutions, the first two that a union merely federal and treaties between the States as sovereigns would be insufficient. The convention, after debate and other propositions, considering the first two resolutions unnecessary, passed the third, which was: “That a National Government ought to be established consisting of a supreme legislative, executive, and judiciary.” All the States present voted ay, Connecticut only no, New York divided--Hamilton ay, Yates no.[20] Yates in his minutes says Randolph in first proposing his resolutions, “candidly confessed they were not intended for a federal government; and that he meant a strong consolidated union.” Mr. Morris on the 30th observed that Randolph’s preamble as to amending the articles of the confederacy was unnecessary, as the subsequent resolutions would not agree with it.[21] [20] 5 Elliot, 132-34. [21] 1 Elliot, 391 and 392. Yates’ minutes. The votes in the convention were as in the confederacy, each State had one and voted as a whole. If the delegation of a State was equally divided, its vote was lost. By the 13th of June the Virginia resolutions had been considered and passed with changes and amendments,[22] the first resolution as changed, being that a national government ought to be established; the plan as to representation (Resolves 7 and 8), being that the representation in the two branches of the Legislature should be in accordance with the free population and three fifths of all other persons (slaves), and excepting Indians. [22] 5 Elliot, 189-90 states the resolutions.
